Center Enamel Delivers Glass-Fused-to-Steel Rainwater Collection Tank for Italy Project
Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd (Center Enamel), a global leader in advanced bolted storage solutions, proudly announces the successful completion and full operational status of a key rainwater collection tank project in Italy. This initiative highlights Center Enamel's commitment to supporting sustainable water management practices with highly durable and efficient storage infrastructure.
Completed in June 2025, this project showcases how modern engineering can effectively harness natural resources, providing a reliable and environmentally friendly water supply solution for the future.
The Growing Importance of Rainwater Harvesting
In an era of increasing water scarcity and environmental awareness, rainwater harvesting has emerged as a crucial strategy for sustainable water management. Collecting rainwater offers numerous benefits, including:
Reducing reliance on municipal water supplies: This decreases utility bills and lessens the strain on local water resources.
Environmental conservation: By reducing stormwater runoff, rainwater harvesting helps mitigate flooding, soil erosion, and pollution of natural waterways.
Backup water supply: Provides an independent water source, valuable during droughts, water restrictions, or emergencies.
Water quality: Rainwater is naturally soft and free from the chemicals often found in treated municipal water, making it ideal for irrigation, toilet flushing, laundry, and other non-potable uses. Italy, like other EU nations, is increasingly focusing on water reuse regulations, making efficient collection and storage solutions vital.
For this critical infrastructure in Italy, the choice of a Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tank from Center Enamel was a strategic decision, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.
Project Specifications: Engineered for Excellence
Application: Rainwater Collection Tank
Project Location: Italy
Tank Size: φ9.17 * 3M(H) (1 Set)
Total Tank Volume: 198m³
Storage Tank Type: Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) Tank
Completion: Finished in June 2025, with construction completed and the project now fully operational
This 198m³ GFS tank, while compact, is perfectly sized to efficiently capture and store rainwater for various uses, offering a testament to the adaptability of Center Enamel's solutions to diverse project scales.
Why Glass-Fused-to-Steel is Ideal for Rainwater Collection
Center Enamel's GFS tanks are manufactured through a meticulous high-temperature firing process (820°C-930°C) where molten glass chemically fuses with the surface of steel plates. This creates an inert, inorganic bond that leverages the strength and flexibility of steel with the outstanding corrosion resistance of glass. For rainwater collection tanks, this technology offers distinct advantages:
Unrivaled Corrosion Resistance: Rainwater, while generally clean, can vary in pH and carry airborne pollutants. The fused glass lining provides an impenetrable barrier that resists rust, corrosion, and chemical degradation, ensuring the purity of the collected water and the longevity of the tank even when exposed to external elements. This means a GFS tank will not degrade like concrete or typical painted steel, preserving the quality of your harvested water.
Exceptional Durability and Longevity: Designed for a service life of 30 years or more, Center Enamel GFS tanks offer a remarkably long-term solution. Their robust construction can withstand environmental stressors, requiring minimal maintenance over decades of operation. This ensures a consistent and reliable rainwater supply for years to come.
Hygienic and Easy to Clean: The smooth, glossy, and non-porous glass surface actively prevents the buildup of algae, mold, and other contaminants often associated with water storage. This inherent anti-adhesion property makes cleaning simple and infrequent, ensuring the collected rainwater remains high quality for its intended use.
Cost-Effective and Rapid Installation: The modular, bolted design of GFS tanks allows for significantly faster on-site assembly compared to traditional welded or concrete tanks. This reduces labor costs, equipment requirements, and overall project timelines, making it a more economically efficient choice. The timely completion of the Italy project in June 2025 exemplifies this efficiency.
Watertight Integrity: Precision-engineered panels and high-quality sealants ensure a leak-free structure, guaranteeing that every drop of harvested rainwater is securely contained and available for use.
Aesthetic Versatility: Available in a range of colors, GFS tanks can be chosen to blend harmoniously with the Italian landscape or architectural design, providing both functional excellence and visual appeal.
